first embodiment

[0016]FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a semiconductor device in accordance with a first embodiment. FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of an area R indicated by a broken line in FIG. 1. The number of fingers is not limited to that illustrated in FIG. 1, but the semiconductor device has an arbitrary number of fingers. As illustrated in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device of the first embodiment has a plurality of source fingers 10, a plurality of drain fingers 12, and a plurality of gate fingers 14, which are provided on a semiconductor layer including a GaAs channel layer and an AlGaAs electron supply layer. The source fingers 10 are connected to a source bus line 16 that extends in a first direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 1), and are arranged in parallel with each other so as to extend from the source bus line 16 in a second direction that crosses the first direction at the right angle (the second direction is the horizontal direction in FIG. 1).

second embodiment

[0044]FIG. 6 is a schematic plan view of a semiconductor device in accordance with a second embodiment. The number of fingers is not limited to that illustrated in FIG. 6, but the semiconductor device has an arbitrary number of fingers. As illustrated in FIG. 6, the semiconductor device of the second embodiment third air bridges 48 that are located further out than the outermost source fingers 10a among the source fingers 10 in the first direction. Each of the third air bridges 48 is supported by the first air bridge 24 provided in the corresponding outermost source finger 10a at one end and by a fixing portion 50 provided in the semiconductor layer 34 at the other end. That is, the third air bridges 48 connect the fixing portions 50 and the outermost first air bridges 24. One end of each of the third air bridges 48 is supported by the center portion of the first air bridge 24 in the direction in which the first air bridge 24 extends. That is, the third air bridges 48 are connected ...
